Boy Scout Trail Organizations

The boy scout usa organization is a hierarchical structure from each scout to the top national director.

The dens are combined into a Cub Scout Pack, while patrols are combined into a Boy Scout Troop. Packs and Troops are called 'units' in the scouting organizational hierarchy.
